Apocolypse predictions

wymondham

As facts seem to be thin on the ground with the EU referendum, with both sides obviously telling porkies what are the things that will cause mayhem with the outcome?

I've tried to compile a helpful roundup as things are and also added some more that seem equally appropriate, based on probably as much truth as the existing reasoning - can you spot the ones I added? here goes:

If we stay IN

People will be living 15 to a house
Greece will dislike us (We didn't start the revolution)
We'll lose the Eurovision song contest forever
Our security will be in jeopardy
We wont be able to send home foreign criminals
We'll be poorer as our membership fees will go up (unless we get the direct debit savings)
Europe will collapse
We'll be ignored in Europe (unfaithful friend syndrome)
The NHS will collapse


If we LEAVE

America wont be our friend anymore
Greece will still dislike us (we're out before them!)
We'll lose the Eurovision song contest forever (guaranteed)
We'll have more money for parties
Sales of razor wire will go through the roof
Our security will be in jeopardy
Air travel will cost an extra £4.60
Europe will collapse
Putin will be our new friend
The NHS will collapse
latest by Dave - War will break out in Europe??!!

There, now we have the facts to date that makes the decision easier doesn't it?

Call me Dave has certainly got balls. Apparently he was willing to go down a path that would lead to WW3 in order that we might be able to pay European migrants slightly less in work benefits for 4 years.....

You make the IN/OUT issue a local one, not a European macro one.

The politicians all know this. Most people don't give a stuff what happens in Greece, and the Greeks really don't care about UK.

It's things like :- will I see my bennies cheque reduce; will my tax go up; will I be fighting for decent rental property with thousands more in my neighbourhood; will the OUT crew replace cheap Poles with even cheaper Indian workers where I live.

(The NHS, as we know it, as had it anyway, so you can cross that off your list!)

Are they In or Out zombies?

Do In zombies summon zombie hoards from across the EU which can't then be expelled while Out zombies aren't able to be tackled with the help of foreign zombie fighters?

No reason to be. Putin's interests are Crimea, Artic oil and Syria. None of which fall into the sphere of the UK.

I think Dave has 'jumped the shark' on his project fear world war claims.
I reckon he definitely does a Fonzie in front of his mirror every morning.

Given his reputation with animals, how do you define 'jumped?'

Given all of these risks of both staying and leaving, especially the fact that Europe will be destroyed by war if we leave and also if we stay, it seems our only hope is for the vote to be so close that the outcome is unclear, spawning 20 years of tortuous litigation about whatever the present day equivalent of a hanging chad is. Perpetual uncertainty will save the world.
